Elder of Ziyon Tells Us the Main Reasons Why the Peace Talks are Doomed

This isn't so important, we all knew them, but he actually wrote them. Read it all.

Clinton Critiques the "Peace Talks"

United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton comments on the "Peace Process". Arutzsheva reports:

“I really admire the way they got right into it,” Clinton said of the latest meeting between Netanyahu and Abbas, earlier this week. There were no agreements reached, she said, but there were “very difficult and intense negotiations on all of the core issues.”

She really sounds like she's critiquing a show.

President Obama, in a private conference call Wednesday, told an audience of Jewish leaders to discount non-constructive statements made by Israeli and Palestinian leaders as Middle East peace talks move forward, saying that such remarks are all part of the negotiating game.

The groups represented on the call were from across the Jewish religious spectrum: They included the orthodox Rabbinical Council of America, the conservative Rabbinical Assembly, the reform Central Conference of American Rabbis, and the reconstructionist Rabbinical Association.

Obama implored the rabbis on the call to publicly support the talks, and to try to rally their own people to support the negotiations. The call was timed in advance of the start of the Jewish high holy days, when the Rabbis see the largest turnout of the year among their congregants. Along those lines, he asked them to discount statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas when they say things in public that make the talks seem doomed. That's mainly for the local television cameras, Obama said.

I don't know--are you sure we shouldn't be applying this advice to what Obama says as well?

"What you're going to see over the next several months is that at any given moment, either President Abbas or Prime Minister Netanyahu may end up saying certain things for domestic consumption, for their constituencies and so forth, that may not be as reflective of that spirit of compromise we would like to see. Well, that's the nature of these talks," Obama said.

These talks, or the way negotiations are done in general?

Anyway, so when Abbas says, "I can’t allow myself to make even one concession," we should not pay any attention, because he is just saying that for the sake of the Arabs in the West Bank?

So really, Abbas actually is willing to make compromises?

Good to know!

Boy, is the Arab world in for a shock, hee-hee

What else will this unfortunate president say? But hey guys, welcome to the Peace Process where comedy is playing 24 hours 7 days a week! Just don't knock your head on the way out. 

FM Lieberman Has it Perfectly

 What if we sign with Abu Mazen [Abbas] and Hamas takes over?” he[Lieberman] asked.

What better question is there? We are sitting down with an enemy of the State of Israel to make peace. What if we actually succeed in these peace talks? We have no proof that Abbas will be able to maintain power.

Well, it seems the ruling party of the Arabs in Israel does not like the idea of peace

Hamas suspended its meeting with Fatah to protest the decision to resume talks
